Editorial review

The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 3.0

R-Linux is a powerful and handy utility that enables you to recover files from the Ext2FS/Ext3FS file system used in Linux and some Unixes. It recovers files from any local disk lost or damaged due to virus attack, system crash or power failure, even if the file records are lost.

However, it fails to recover damaged RAIDs or stripe sets and does not feature network capabilities. It also has the ability to scan a disk in search of previous partitions and restores the files present in them. In the case of disks with bad sectors, the program first copy the entire disk or part of it to an image file and then process it. The application also searches for files on devices such as CD, HD, DVD, floppy disk, USB drive, Compact Flash Card, Memory Sticks, ZIP drive, and other removable media. It recognizes Dynamic, Basic, BSD (UNIX) and GPT partitions layout schema and Apple partition map. It also includes a hexadecimal disk and file editor. The interface is very simple and intuitive, very similar to Windows Explorer.
It supports Win9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista.

Pros

Easy to use. Simple and intuitive user interface. Free.

Cons

It fails to recover damaged RAIDs or stripe sets.

This program is increaditably unstable rip-off of the complete version.Situation: a data partition from WD mybook world which got accedentally repartitioned. Hardware: p4
2.4ghz box with 2gb ram, 2tb sata disk with image of the defect disk, ubuntu. Initial scan goes OK.
4 hours, searching only video (family video). That is OK, but then comes "reading pass" that takes
another 2 hours. AFTER that reading pass, program becomes insanely unstable!! Everything WITHIN the
program - freezes. According to top, system has enough memory (6gb swap is on). Other three times,
program simply CRASHES. I have run cpuburn and memtest on this hardware - its rock stable. I think
R-studio just DOES NOT freaking care about "free linux-only" version.Photorec does the job.

After my server went down, VirtualLab Data Recovery got all our files within 3 days, while others
software took weeks and were at a higher price. This company is very honest and came through as they
promised! Our Server had Gigabytes of important Company CAD files, Pictures, Excel sheets, Database
and Presentation files. Eric saved my company from disaster. I recommend VirtualLab Data Recovery to
anyone looking for SOLID IT Software.
